Teenagers acting like adults, adults acting like teenagers, guarding secrets, writing and sharing gossip as if it was today's headlines. And any kind of memberships into this life were so elite, you couldn't even buy your way in. As if it was a birth right. A birth right I never seemed to have, and my greatest achievements would never earn me.
Yes - I was born into the life of luxuary and wealth, but that doesn't mean it made me who I am today. All I had to compare to this world was what I saw of my parents and those fancy private schools they put me in, trying to make me one of them. But truth be told, I wasn't born into this world to be an elite, I was born to be me; Gabriel Lee White, an aspiring author with no need of money to buy a fake sense of happiness to feel fullfilled.
As graduation hit, my father with all of his grand plans decided it was about time I followed in his footsteps since my deadbeat brother couldn't match up. Though, to his great disapproval I declined. I didn't want to be just another White in that empty wasteland of a life. I wanted to write. I wanted to be who I was meant to be - and not another pawn for him to bring success and glory to himself.
So one day, I decided it was about time I got away and start a life of my own. Sure, it will be hard and it will be though. But at least I get to do what I love the most; Writing.
So this is how I ended up in Vermont; Pilot Ridge. Just me and my puppy Marvin, living side by side experiencing the real life with our own four eyes.
